    I liked this place. It was a rustic throwback to the grass roots of crab joints. Wood on the walls and y People have written on them. Wood benches and paper table covers. The drinks were decent. Ordered was a crab sitch and fries shrimp basket. As for the crab bag it was margarine. Sigh. I prefer my foos less oily but I persevered. The garlic seasoning was good. They said broccoli came with but it was hardly worth mentioning. Two pieces, really. The corn was cooked and the two potatoes were fine. I pulled them out for later. The Dungeness crab was okay. Off season I guess it was decent if that is your preferred crab which it is mine . I will try the snow next. He enjoyed his fried shrimp just wished there was more of them. The fries were good as well. Which means we will be going back. I have no objection. They also give you a crab bread app with scallions and cheese so that is nice.

    My Niece turned 16 and Decided we should all go out for Crab Legs, so Saucy Crab it was!!! The restaurant was relatively empty, but the food was definitely FULL of Flavor!!!! We were split on our choices, 3 had Crab Legs, 3 had Shrimp, and the youngest of the Bunch of course chose Chicken Fingers and Fries!!! Cracking crab legs and peeling Shrimp required a great deal of effort, persistence, and patience, but let me tell you the rewards of our Labor was well worth it!!!! I don't think anyone was able to eat every morsel in front of them, but it wasn't for lack of trying!!! Perhaps the appetizers we'd ordered prior to our meal had something to do with the bursting at the seams feeling that had overtaken us. The appetizers tray was such a great value, it consisted of Crab Cakes which were a good size for a sampler tray, Conch Fritters my personal favorite, Alligator Bites which were quite tasty, Fried Shrimp seasoned just Right and Hush Puppies which put us over the top!!! Considering rising prices everywhere, the cost of this meal for 7, was reasonable!!! The only issue was either the waitress being stretched too thin or her lack of customer service training. She didn't introduce herself, continuously reached over us, never checked back on the table, we had to flag her down. In all Saucy Crab is a Don't miss if you like Seafood!!! Hat's off to the cooks!!!!

    Ok, I gave Hot N Juicy another try because my friend's husband wanted to try it. It was much better this time. They serve the seafood in bags now, so the food stayed warm. They also gave us broccoli in the bag, which they didn't do last time. I love a vegetable. It was salty so I only ate one piece but I appreciated the gesture. Our waiter, Julius, was cool. He explained how the ordering is done since it was my friend's first time. He gave us tools and buckets and all. He didn't give us that nasty appetizer bread but I didn't mind because we didn't want it (maybe he read my last review lol). The food was better. Like I said, the food was served in bags so it stayed warm. However, the sauce wasn't as tasty this time. It seemed a little watered down because it was missing that spice and umph. My friend ordered the catfish basket with fried okra. She said the fish was served hot, which is a plus, however it was a little bland. So it wasn't bad this time are. Give Hot N Juicy a try.

    Eating at Hot n Juicy

    My daughter and I absolutely love seafood. Hot n Juicy Crab was just introduced to me. We were so excited and thrilled to know that there was finally a good sea food restaurant in the neighborhood. I opted out of cooking dinner and treated us out to Hot n Juicy. My check came to $78 (minus a Military discount) for a bag of 1 pound King Crab and 2 lobster tails and some additional trimmings. The food at best was mediocre and over priced for a "pound" of king crab and 2 lobster tails. Perhaps we ordered the wrong thing this evening. However it is what it is. Our next location will be to Maine for sea food. The atmosphere was pleasant, bright and clean. I just give the food and price "two stars".

    Horribly seasoned crab legs

    Horrible seafood platter experience. I asked to replace the entree and was told it was against their policy. Go elsewhere for good seafood!!!

    The seasoning that should've been in my actually bag of seafood

    This seafood tastes as if it was seasoned to perfection solely for elders on maintenance medication. When I asked for seasoning to spice it up due to the severe lack of flavor I was presented with what's in the photo.

    Popcorn Shrimp

    Although it was extremely crowded the staff was very attentive, which was a plus in my eyes. I had the shrimp boil which was good and we enjoyed the fried pickles but the other food we ordered was just ok (chicken strips, popcorn shrimp, gator bites, fried okra, etc.)The margarita was nothing like I had hoped for, I could have made better myself at home. Another issue it was extremely too cold so we couldn't sit and enjoy our food like we wanted. I was there to celebrate my Birthday and just wasn't what I was expecting. More than likely, we won't return.

    Nice, clean and the food is good! Nothing to complain about. This has become my go to for seafood boils when I'm in the area.

    our group of 8 had a reservation here at North & Maple for a team dinner and we enjoyed it!…read more they were very considerate of one of my coworkers who is gluten free, i believe she was told that they cook their gluten free items separately from other items, but i wasn't close enough to hear fully. i ordered their mockarita for a drink and we shared the wisconsin cheese curds and n'orleans shrimp. i liked my mockarita but it was definitely on the sweeter side. everyone who tried the shrimp also really enjoyed it but i feel like for $16 it could've came with a bit more shrimp and bread for it to be shareable. the cheese curds weren't too bad either, i only had one but would've ate more if i wasn't on a diet haha. for my main i ordered the mediterranean branzino from the featured menu and i cleaned my whole plate. the dish was well seasoned from the fish, to the mashed potatoes, and to the green beans. any of the dishes that came with mashed potatoes everyone loved! everyone who didn't finish their food took their food to go because the portions were big. the waitress refilled our waters consistently and made sure we were taken care of. she was also informative when anyone had any questions. if you wanted to watch a game or something while dining there were plenty of tvs around so you wouldn't miss a thing. they played a lot of 2000s hits which was interesting but can get a bit loud. they have weekly entertainment like on bingo tuesdays and jazz wednesdays with other events/entertainment sprinkled throughout the week which can be found on their website! i would definitely come back to North & Maple next time i'm in tinley park. i would love to try more items and come during bingo or jazz!

    Hubby and I came here for dinner. It is located in the Tinley Park hotel area with ample parking…read more The staff is warm and welcoming, and we were seated quickly. Our server was Annie. She is just as friendly and lovely. The vibe is lively. The music is loud, and their bar area is nice, with TVs throughout. Hubby ordered the steak and potatoes, and I ordered the fish and chips. We both enjoyed our meals. Hubby said his steak was seasoned really well, and he took half of my fish, which he also said was really good, and I agree. This is a great neighborhood staple, and we will definitely be back to try one of their burgers.
